Influences
abandoned buildings, authentic movement, tuna melts, dance parties, street performers, hard-core heavy metal, bad dancing, private habits in public spaces, chocolate, spitting chocolate, disappointment invoking ecstatic homicidal ideation, amorphous lycra evening attire, the sexy apocalypse, taking things too far.

a dance video, a sprinkle of kate bush and black sabbath, and david rafn.
Woolly Mammoth Comes to Dinner is KATIE ARRANTS, KATHLEEN KEOGH, and RIKKI ROTHENBERG who use this moniker as an excuse to indulge themselves in non-sense, and then attempt to make something coherent out of it. Often remembering to wear their fancy pants they will knock your socks off "oh god" style (no promises).
DAVID RAFN of Sustentacula, is a huge part of Woolly. David is our main musical collaborator and in general a great contributer.
DIANA LANG of )open((clothed) has costumed Woolly over and over- and she'll do it AGAIN! We swear! She is Totally Radical. Totical. http://www.openclothed.com/
CHRIS MULLIKEN got out of bed before noon to photograph the immortal trio. If it looks beautiful, it's probably his. If it has golden tusks, it's probably us.
LAUREN HOBSON is our make-up guru.
Woolly had a wonderful time as part of LINDA AUSTIN's show "CIRCUS ME AROUND". Check her out at http://www.myspace.com/lindapaustin, http://performanceworksnw.org/circusme.html, and http://performanceworksnw.org/ She is totally cool! Especially when she puts clothes pins on her neck and cackles.

During a time when we were looking for places to dance other than our living rooms, we found ourselves freezing cold in the rain in a burnt down building we briefly loved. We wouldn't consider this a music video (no music involved!); it's more like a glimpse at our process and the beauty that can be found in otherwise dismal environments. It's long, so just settle in and listen to the rain drops hitting the lens.
uuhh, i am thoroughly perplexed by the latest comment you left me... "on the phoooooneeeee" ???? what does it all mean??
and no, ricki, you did not say that quote. why would i quote you on MY space. it is MYspace, not YOURspace. oh, but you were there when i said it i believe, i was referring to a dog.
i will see you ladies on tuesday at valentines, i am anticipating the event with great excitement, i hope you wear the snow pants, maybe i will wear mine too, nah.
